Transformational foresight as a new tool is developed and explored from the perspective of future human evolution. We briefly explore the technology-based alternatives and then focus on the human transpersonal direction for how we might evolve. A tool is proposed (currently under development by the Millennium Project Experimental Cybernode), the "Butterfly Delphi," as a means of teaching/learning/implementing Transformational Foresight.

What is the Transformational Government initiative, enabled by information and communications technology (ICT)? We describe its development, origins and prospects in seeking to join up public services to give simple, seamless, one-off access channels for citizens. We look at its governance and working structures, examining how ICT has been used to move towards common infrastructures and approaches in public services, bringing new potential for holistic service delivery. Finally, we show how transformational government has moved on from e-government, noting some risks that may affect its implementation. We note some particular issues affecting local government throughout the article.

Değişim ve yeniden yapılanma, bugünün örgütlerini nitelendiren en önemli kavramlar arasında yer almaktadır. Çevresel belirsizlik, hızlı ve ani değişimler, bu kavramların önemini her geçen gün artırmakta ve örgütleri bir dönüşüm (transformation) ile sonuçlanabilecek yapısal değişikliklere zorlamaktadır. Örgütlerde dönüşüm süreci, vizyon sahibi ve yenilikçi liderler tarafından yerine getirilebilir. Dönüştürücü liderler olarak nitelendirilen bu liderler, örgütün çıkarları kişisel çıkarlarının üzerinde tutan, kendisini sürekli yenileyen bireylerin bulunduğu örgütler yaratarak, dönüşüm için gerekli koşullan hazırlamaktadırlar. Bu çalışmada, dönüşüm yönetimi sürecinde önemli bir rol oynayan dönüştürücü liderlik yaklaşımı incelenecektir ; Change and restructuring are among the most important concepts defining today's organizations. Environmental uncertainity, rapid and prompt changes have been increasingly rising the importance of these two concepts and have been forcing the organizations to change of structurally, thereby leading to transformation process. Trans-formation process in the organizations can be done by the visionary leaders. These leaders, who can be labelled as transformational leaders, prepare the conditions required for transformation by creating the groups which are comprised of members who put the group interests over their individual interests and always renew them-selves. This study will analyze the transformational leadership that plays an important role in the transformational management process.

Argues that both NATO transformation and its engagement in Afghanistan has created reciprocal influence and benefits since the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) has given NATO opportunities to test and refine its new command and force structures and furthered the goal of making the NATO Response Force fully operational in 2006. ISAF has exposed operation shortfalls, has led to a review of NATO's force-generation procedures, impacting the usability and deployability of forces, and has prompted a review of the eligibility of operations for common Allied funding.

NATO's engagement in Afghanistan has finished the debate about whether NATO should operate beyond the Euro-Atlantic area and has impacted significantly on NATO's military transformation. Afghanistan has given NATO the opportunity to organize the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), test and refine NATO's new command and force structures, and has kept the NATO Response Force on track for full operational capability in 2006.
